New & Abstract Talents - Open Call for Artists

This residency offers a fully funded opportunity for musicians, sound artists, and multidisciplinary artists working with sound, currently residing in Europe.

  
**The residency takes place from January 6th - February 7th, 2025, in Tunis, Tunisia.**

  
This Babbasawt Sound Lab is a one month long residency based around pairing five musicians / sound artists from a Creative Europe country with five Tunisian musicians / sound artists. The selected artists will work together on new collaborative works, while also participating in mentor led workshops on instrument building and experimental music/sound techniques.

  
**The aim of the residency is to foster:**

  
\- opportunity for personal, intercultural, and professional growth

\- equal access to music technologies

\- experimentation in artistic collaborative formats

\- inspiration through mentorship to envision a sustainable music career

  
Musicians are invited to consider the use of innovative musical instruments, built during residency workshop activities or provided by the residency and mentors. Selected artists will acquire new skills in sound creation and music instrument building. They will be able to test their personal strengths within an artistic collaboration, as much as imagine new types of audiences for their work. A multiplicity of perspectives is welcomed in such a collaborative environment, therefore participants can come from different artistic backgrounds, as long as they are interested in experimenting with sound in a structured and innovative manner.

  
**What type of activities are planned?**

  
\- In person presentations from the mentors, and additional online talks from guests.

  
\- One public concert by the mentors

  
\- Focused learning on specific musical instruments and new technologies, practical sessions implementing their use

  
\- Multiple day workshops focusing on musical instruments building techniques (acoustic and electronic)

  
\- Coordinated visit to local art institutions and traditional instrument making workshops

  
\- Improvisation sessions and rehearsals with mentors' present

  
The final goal is to help participants realize new collaborations, and to present this publicly as a performance, exhibition, or participatory action using a variety of musical instruments, including the ones built during the course of the residency.

This residency project has been selected under the conditions by Culture Moves Europe, a project funded by the European Union and implemented by the Goethe-Institut. Accommodation is offered free of charge, each selected artist is assigned a daily allowance, and a travel stipend is calculated based on travel distance. Slow travel is strongly encouraged!

We are looking for 7 theatre directors, playwrights, choreographers or performance makers to take part in Common LAB 2025\. This itinerant, eight-week laboratory will provide opportunities to experiment with collective and individual devices for knowledge sharing and the development of artistic research, with the goal of broadening European narratives.

  
Common LAB 2025 is part of Common Stories, a project that brings together performing arts organisations, artists and audiences to address the dynamic notions of identity and cultural diversity in a changing European society. 

  
Identity constructions are based on and strengthened by stories and experiences. Stories tell us who we are and who we strive to become. They question and challenge the way we see ourselves and others. We believe that a diversity of stories and a multiplicity of perspectives will allow for a more accurate and fair understanding of the political, cultural and social challenges we face in creating common grounds in European societies, which are characterised by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and the struggle for social justice. European societies are historically built upon inequalities that, we believe, need to be addressed. Cultural sectors, both concretely and symbolically, are riddled with colonial tensions and rationales, as well as logics of domination and power relations. In the performing arts sector, resources, decision-making and programming positions are still mostly in the hands of a white, male, middle-and-upper-class majority, while artists and art professionals from different cultural, social, gender and ability backgrounds are largely underrepresented on and off stage, especially in decision-making and leadership positions. 

  
Each year of Common LAB is comprised of four two-week modules in four different cities, including one location outside of Europe, for a total of eight weeks. This will be the last edition of Common LAB, which will have brought together 24 artists between 2023 and 2025\. Information about the previous editions and participating artists is available here. 

  
In designing the programme of Common LAB, we pay particular attention to artistic practices and stories that are underrepresented or absent from our institutions, as well as to the relevance of diversity in language, aesthetics and representation. The programme provides opportunities for artists to exchange, share, and learn from each other and from other guests artists; to research their individuals proposals; and to present their projects to the Common Stories partners and other professionals. 

Participants are provided with a programme of activities, a stipend (80 EUR/residency day), travel and accommodation.

  
The programme will consist of the following activities: 

  
• **Workshops** with guest artists 

• **Lectures and talks** by guest speakers 

• **City visits and meetings** with local artists and programmers 

• **Performances** at the africologne Festival, as well as other artistic events in each city 

• **Self-organised sessions** for peer-to-peer exchange between the Common Lab artists 

• Some **free studio time** for individual or group work

  
• **One-on-one meetings** to discuss individual production needs and questions related to the practical development of each project 

  
• An **open session** in Bobigny where artists are asked to present their projects to the Common Stories partners and other professional guests.

CommonLAB 2025

As part of the _Participatory Residency Program_, the Academy of the Arts of the World (ADKDW), together with Un-Label, is inviting applications for a residency from April to September 2025\. Based on a self-selected subject, an artist-in-residence will develop a participatory program for the Un-Label network and implement it in collaboration with the ADKDW team.

  
It is important to us to provide a space for **independent research and creative work.** We support this with a **strong local network that** the artists-in-residence can draw on. The ADKDW and its partners also establish contacts in Cologne’s communities and art scene to make it easier to arrive, get to know each other and network.

  
**What we expect:**

  
The Participatory Residency Program is looking for **artists and activists who deal with intersectional, but especially anti-ableist and de- or postcolonial critique of power**. The applicants’ practice should take the form of artistic projects with aspects of power critique, participation and involvement in a contemporary cultural environment.

  
**The artists-in-residence are expected to design a series of participatory activities and plan and implement events with the community in Cologne.** The activities and events should be explicitly developed together and the aforementioned target group should not be seen as mere recipients of the program.

The ADKDW and Un-Label provide **rooms for work** and **events** for a maximum duration of six weeks

by arrangement. In addition, the ADKDW provides the artists-in-residence with a **non-barrier-free** one-bedroom apartment with elevator and balcony for the duration of the program. Smaller support measures such as support in the bathroom, mobile ramps etc. can be provided if required. We provide office equipment and working materials as well as basic equipment for events.

  
**Financial resources of the residence**

  
* 2,000 € per month as a scholarship
* 8,000 € production budget
* 5,000 € for accessibility measures
* 5,000 € for work assistance or mentoring sessions
* 2,000€ travel costs (incl. visa, luggage and regional)
* 2.000€ documentation / public relations
